True Justice for George Floyd Will Come From Investing In Black People and Defunding the Police, Not the Unjust Criminal Legal System
Today, a jury returned a GUILTY verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer who killed George Floyd. At Movement for Black Lives, we are working towards liberation for all Black people, because we believe all Black lives matter. We know the current unjust criminal legal system will not deliver liberation, let alone justice.
